Fantasy Football Dynasty Rankings Updated: Tight End Position Sees Shift

As the NFL season winds down and redraft leagues enter their offseason, Dynasty Fantasy Football enthusiasts are already looking ahead to the 2026 NFL Draft. CBS Sports has released its first installment of updated Dynasty rankings, starting with the tight end position, and the landscape is shifting.

The rankings are broken into tiers, reflecting the value and potential of each player in a long-term Dynasty format. Tier 1 remains unchanged from the previous year, featuring Brock Bowers (Raiders) and Trey McBride (Cardinals) as top contenders.

A notable mega-tier highlights emerging rookies Colston Loveland (Bears), Harold Fannin Jr. (Browns), Tyler Warren (Colts), Tucker Kraft (Packers), Sam LaPorta (Lions), and Oronde Gadsden II (Chargers) alongside established names like Kyle Pitts (Falcons). Pitts, in particular, is considered a wild card, with his upcoming free agency potentially influencing his future value.

The CBS Sports podcast “FFT Dynasty” recently featured an episode discussing the 2025 season and its implications for 2026 prospects, focusing on players like Jaxson Dart, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Harold Fannin.

The lower tiers include a mixed bag of veterans and developing players, including AJ Barner (Seahawks), Isaiah Likely (Ravens), Mason Taylor (Jets), Dalton Kincaid (Bills), Terrance Ferguson (Rams), Theo Johnson (Giants) and George Kittle (49ers). Notably, veteran George Kittle has landed lower in the rankings. This is partially attributed to injuries, but also to a decline in efficiency during the 2025 season.

Fantasy Football analysts are already diving deep into prospect analysis in preparation for upcoming rookie drafts.
